Endemic Love

"There were so many things I wanted to say to you, but even writing them feels impossible. Because I know that if I were to put down the words I keep in my heart, you'd only say it's natural—after all, I’m just a stupid, self-centered person, like you often said.

But I'm not. And that’s why I won’t bare my heart to someone who never truly knew me. Because... you wouldn’t trust the sincerity of a stranger. Right?

But I did.

You were the stranger whose sincerity I believed in.

So I’m stepping away from being the person who embodies everything you hate—because I hate those things too.

Maybe in another life, I’ll get to tell you who I really am."
